Total Shares

The total trades ADV came to $9 billion in June 2017, up 3.6 percent month-on-month, from the preceding May’s $8.7 billion. The growth from this time last year was far more impressive, as it more than doubled from $4 billion.

Institutional and Consolidated

The KCG institutional US equity shares ADV was estimated at 195.8 million, down 3.4 percent, compared to 202.7 million. This time last year the average was 221.4 million – this is a decrease of 11.6 percent decrease.

The consolidated US Equity ADV reached $294.7 billion in June 2017, up 9.84 percent from May’s $268.3 billion.

In June, KCG reported its volumes for May 2017, which showed a steady increase in comparison to the previous April. One of the major drivers seems to be the higher volatility in US equity markets, following by remarkable highs across a number of stock indices.
